Puppy Love

Just a quick one today (between mowing the lawn and painting windows). I have finished cleaning and painting five windows and only have 22 to go (yikes!). I’m hoping to get some pics of my hard work up here by the end of the week.

On a rant side note – if you have windows with etched glass and you need to paint them, please take the glass out first. I’m spending a lot of my painting time in the shed cursing the person/people who painted the glass. I’m pretty sure they can’t hear me because these windows are over 100 years old, but it makes me feel better – end of rant side note.

But the real reason for this post is because we have two new puppies. They are both female Arab Mastiff X and mine is the one with the brown spots. I have a problem – what am I going to name this cute little girl???

How adorable! I feel your stress but those puppies are just the cutest little things.
Willow is the first name that came to mind. When that happens, call me corny but I usually think there’s some force behind it. 🙂
So yea, she looks like a Willow. 😀

The first thing that came out of my mouth when I saw them was ohmygoodnessmeeeeeee… but I guess that it a bit unweildly for a dog’s name. The right name will come to you, then you will abrreviate it, embellish it, and turn it into half a dozen nicknames 🙂
And yes, curses on lousy lazy painters 😉

LOL – I’m pretty sure they didn’t even take the windows down, just slapped paint all over everything 😯

Ohmygoodnessmeeeeeee is the best name ever and then I could abbreviate it to OMGM and then Omy 😀 It’s always fun at the vet when they ask for the dogs name. I could say ‘this one is called Ohmygoodnessmeeeeeee’ LOL 😀

The are great stories. What I didn’t write in my review was the big sigh and the oh dear I expressed after only a short time reading… so this is what it takes to be a GREAT short story writer… I have such a long way to go 🙂

Sorry about the windows! But you’ve got such adorable puppies to relax with!! I have a name book, which I keep for our pets and my story characters. (I add them as I come across them.) So: Taraka, Spindrift,Thistle or Thistledown, Amber, Bramble, Whisper, Banner, Impish or Imp, Tazi, Kiri, Yampi, Kiwi. (The last four are Australian and from New Zealand, I think.)

Cassandra – I just looked at her, and that was the name that popped up. As a former dog trainer, I have learnt that having s- sounds in a dog’s name is great, as apparently this is a sound the dog easily picks up on.

I just put “brown spots” into Google Translate, and it came up with this البقع البنية . Do you think you could get your little cutie pis to answer to this? 😀
Those painty windows sound like a nightmare. You’re certainly a glutton for punishment.

Awwwww! They are so adorable! You’ve had great suggestions here, and you now probably have too many names to choose from. 🙂 And good luck getting those windows finished with these cute little distractions running around!

Not only that, JM, a kitten turned up at the farm yesterday (I think someone must have dumped it) and I spent a lot of my ‘window time’ taking pics of it and feeding it. It’s becoming a menagerie around here…

I LOVE, LOVE LOVE puppy breath, and these babies are too adorable. Someone said that their personalities will name them! Our dogs have always had multiple names that just come automatically. What is your favorite characteristic of each one? I love the blue eyes! I love the little black and white sweetie pie. They look so soft! 🙂

They are adorable! I’m not good at picking out pet names at all. After we were married, my husband and I named our first cat “CeCe” because hubby called her C.C. for “Cute Cat.” My crazy cat, Cybil, was PITA before we settled on a name because she was a pain in the- well, let’s move on now 🙂

LOL – I just love the name PITA – that’s what I should have called my German Shepherd. I’m not too good with pet names either, it’s usually the kids who name them, but they’re all grown up and moved away now…

Absolutely adorable! I am so jealous…and so not. 🙂 Good luck with the puppy pandemonium! I am looking forward to some cute and crazy pictures!! How about Lucy (lucy loo), Lolita (lollie) or Matilda (mattie), if she gets fat then Lady Tubbington…I am looking forward to hearing what you guys name them. Be careful, my cousin named her cat Loki and he continued being a crazy trickster! They tend to fulfill their names it seems to me.
Good luck with all those doors. What a pain in the booty, but they look so amazing when you finish them, I am sure they will be worth all the effort

Puppy pandemonium all right! And then yesterday a kitten wandered into the shed and hasn’t left. People sometimes dump their kittens in this area because they think it’s ‘out of the way’ but they end up here! I’ve looked around for any more (there’s never just one) and can’t find them so they may have gotten lost in the cane fields. Oh dear – another mouth to feed 😯

Be still my heart, your puppies are adorable!!!!!!!!!! Our friends have a female dog that we just love who has the best doggie personality and her name is Lilly! That name automatically popped up when I saw her precious face. Congratulations on your new family members Dianne! 🙂

Oh, Dianne, I am in love! But I also hear you when you talk of all those windows to paint. I am doing up my house and revamping all my furniture – sewing, painting, sanding – and I can’t seem to even put a dent into the mountain of work required. Said that, these pups have put a smile on my face.

You’re a woman after my own heart, Gabriela! We take on these tasks that are bigger than mountains, but it’s a great feeling to sit back and look at the results 😀 I’m glad the puppies put a smile on your face 😉

Giselle, she’s an adorable cutie and that name came to mind, but probably she needs a more powerful “warrior type” name like her new mommy (you) a noble name, a different goddess perhaps Dianne. Also on a different note, I was wondering if you’re going after, like, a carpenter’s license (lol), you’re certainly going to be well qualified by the end of all this! 🙂

Thanks. I’m not completely back yet though. Unfortunately. I’m having a problem getting on the internet. So If I go poof again, don’t think I’m ditching you – the internets are just running away again. ;D
Love the name!

Dear Diane I have to admit that i love your writing so much. I´m freelance blogger and aspiring writer myself so I can relate to your lifestyle. I just wanted to wish you all the best, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🙂 May all your dreams come true!
